Letters Patent No. 106,689, dated August 23, 1 870.

VAPOR-BURNER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part bf the lame.

1'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN 1). Gimme, 0t Sturgis, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Michi gan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor Cooking-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following isa full,-clear, and exactdescription thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a vapor cook-stove, which can beused for heating one or more rooms, as will be hereinafter fully set tbrth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appcrtains to make and use the same,

' will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring tothe annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a side elevation, part in section, and

Figure 2 is a plan view of my stove.

A represents the top of the stove, resting upon legs B B, 'and having any desired number of holes,

Under each hole in the top plateA is securcda firecup, 0, whiclr is tapering downward, provided with holes around the upper end, and open at the lower end.

Upon the lower cudof the fire-cup Q is placed a surplus cup, I), which is perforated around its sides, as shown. 4

In each fire-cup U is placed a. burner, E, which is supplied with oil through the pipe a, which passes around the edges of the plate A, branches leading inward above each burner, and then downward and up to the burner.

Through the burner E passes a stennf, for the purpose of letting on and shutting off the flow of gas.

This stem is, inside of-thc burner, provided with a notch, so that, by turning the stem in either direction, more or less gas can he let on, as occasion may require.

The stem f runs through the stove, so that it can he turned on the outside without removing anything on the stove.

On top of the burner E is alsmall cup, h, which is to be tilled with gasoline or oil, when desired to start it.

The stem being turned 0d, the gasoline in the cup is. lighted, which burns up against the pipe over the disk G, and generates gas.

When the pipe becomes hot, the stem is turnel again, letting on the gas, and it is in full operation atonce.

In the side of each fire-cup U is pivoted an arm, I),

having a disk, G, at its outer end, which,w'heu thrown outward, comes-in between the burner and the branch of the supply-pipe a, immediately above it.

At the rear end of the plate A is placed a waterreservoir, H, in which the two 'ends of a pipe, (I, pass upward through the bottom, the body of said pipe passing through the fire cups G C, so as to be heated by the burners.

One end of this pipe being higher within the reservoir than theother, the cold water'is forced through the lower pipe, becoming heated during its passage, and the warm'water rises to the top, and so ou,acon stant current, until it all boils.

In rear of the water-reservoir His placed a closet, I, which'is heated by means of air admitted through a pipe, 0, one end of which is near the floor, taking ii cold air, then passing under the top A, so that thea ir may become heated when it passes into the closet,

through the other end of the pipe 6. For heating" purposes, a cylindrical vessel, K, is placed over the tire-cup, said vessel being covered on top, except a hole in the center, and provided on the inside with an inverted cone, L, or funnel, as shown in fig. 1. Within this cone the air becomes heated ands,

passes into the room.

By placing a pipe, M, on the top of the cone L, and carrying the same to the upper story, the heated air may be condnctedint-o them, when so desired.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is I 1. The'conibination and arrangement of the store A, cups 0 D, bnrness E, disks G, reservoir H, closet I, and pipes u, (I, and c, all substantially as and lorthe purposes herein set forth.

2. In combination with the above, the cylinder K, cone L, and pipe M, constructed and used substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I aiiix my signature in presence of two wituesses.
